Dear Jamesburg Borough,

Please accept this electronic request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form or use a particular software platform to submit my request per NJSA 47:1A-6(f), which states that an email from a requestor including all of the information required on the adopted form shall suffice in place of a completed form as a valid government record request.

I HAVE NOT been convicted of any indictable offense under the laws of New Jersey, any other state, or the United States.

I WILL NOT use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.

I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.

Records requested: all existing recordings of public meetings held in 2024.

My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by E-mail as attachments. However, I recognize that many recordings, especially video recordings, are too large to send via email. If that is the case, I can recommend: 1) uploading the recordings to a Google Drive folder and sharing it with my Google account: ckratovil, or 2) using the free service WeTransfer to send the recordings to my email address: [email address].

I am also open to other methods, including picking up a flash drive or CD/DVD at your office, or receiving the same via US mail at our PO Box: #3180, New Brunswick, NJ 08903. Please confirm you have received this request and feel free to contact me at 732-993-9697 with any questions or to make any necessary arrangements. If you are not the custodian of records, please forward my request to that person and provide their email address to me for future reference.

Thank you very much for your assistance with this request.

Yours faithfully,

Charlie Kratovil

Dear Ms. Boulogne,

Yes, that's OK. Thanks.

Yours sincerely,

Charlie Kratovil

Dear Ms. Boulogne,

I received an email with three attachments and the message "Here are the remaining." But I did not receive any other recordings. Please advise. Thanks.

Yours sincerely,

Charlie Kratovil

Dear Ms. Boulogne,

Thanks for your call. I still haven't received any further records on OPRAmachine or at my New Brunswick Today email address - one solution that might be quick and easy is you can upload the files to my Google Drive folder here:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1...

You should have received an invitation moments ago that enables you to upload to the folder.

Yours sincerely,

Charlie Kratovil

Dear Ms. Boulogne,

I can also recommend WeTransfer.com, which is a free service and does not require you to make an account.

If you proceed with sending files through WeTransfer.com please send them to [email address]

Yours sincerely,

Charlie Kratovil

Dear Ms. Boulogne,

I can confirm I received 11 total recordings, eight via WeTransfer and three via your email to OPRAmachine. You mentioned on the phone there was an issue regarding the July meeting and it was not recorded. Thanks.

Yours sincerely,

Charlie Kratovil
